ALBERT PHILIPPOTEAUX. OF BHEIMS. FRANCE.

MACHINE FOR MAKING GLASS BOTTLES AND LIKE ARTICLES.

To all whom. it may concern:

lie it known that I. ALBERT PHILIPPO- rnarx, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at Rheims. France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Marhines for Making Glass Bottles and Like Articles, of which the following is a specilit-ation.

This invention relates to improvements in machines for making glass hotths. and comprises a special arrangement, \Vlllt'll allows of the mannfarture of bottles or flasks with long and narrow necks, combined with the nmehines for the met-.hanieal manufacture of bottles and flasks; and further, on arrangement which allows of the meehaniwl manufacture of bulky vessels. vases, gohlets, eondensing tubs, and the like.

Referring to the tirst arrangement. it should be pointedout that in the present mat-hines. bottles and flasks are generally made with the help of a measuring or parison mold, a ring mold and a finishing mold. The glass being poured into the measuring mold, the ring and part of the neck of the bottle or flask in course of formation is made at the outset before closing the finishing mold. It follows that the profile of the measuring mold. in its lower part, must he the same as the eorresptmding parts of the finishing: mold: it mount in any ease be larger. as this would make it impossible to rinse the finishing mold. Consequently, for a bottle or flask with a long and narrow lltt'l( the lower part of the measuring mold must necessarily be long and narrow; under these. circumstances, the exterior parts of the glass poured into this mold eonl rapidly. the glass cannot I'ttHlt the rip" mold, amt if by eham-e it does rearh it. the ring turns out hadly made, and in every case, it is impossihle to pierce the parison. In order to ohviattthts inoonvenient'e, it is suliioient to lengthen the m-t'k of tho tlask as hereafter explained.

'l'he drawing represents an elevation partly sertional ol' the special machine For the nmnufartnrtof t-ondenaing tnhs. gohlets or like hulky "essels'.

ltel'erring, to the. drawing, whirh ilh|stl'ntt'H a prut'tieat embodiment. of the rou- Hllllt'llflll shown in Figs. 1, 2 and it showing the arrangement for making bulky articles, sun-h as gohlt-ts. t-ondensing tnha amt the like, this t-onsists of a measuring mohl and a ring mold in the upper part at" the maehine, and

an il'itermediate mold in the lower part in which the article rer-eives its preliminary shape. and lastly a jointed finishing mold in the middle part of the machine where the artiele is finished. .\et-ordin; to this mode of exet-ntion. the elmraeteristic feature of the invention is the addition of the intermediate. mold which onlv partially int-lusts the paristrn, although the said mold might also he ditferently shaped and arranged so as to allow it to ('ompletely int-lose the parison. The measuring mold 9 is provided with a elosnre 10 in its upper part, and it is mounted hp pivots around an axis 11. so as to he opened in two partsh llikillli of a handle 11. and donhle eonneetinp rods and levers 12.13. Below themeaanrinp mold is mounted. on a shaft 18 capable of being turned 180 by means of a fly wheel In with double stop-action 20, the double rin'g mold 21, and below this latter is placed, following the same rertieal axis as t to other molds 10 and '21. the tinishinmold 2. made in two parts capable of opening themselves by rotation around a suitable axis 23. In this mold is fitted a has-ae- Qt, carried by an arm 25 mm" able around the column ".2 so that the said hose can he brought into a symmetrical position soc-h as indicated in the. drawing in relation to the axis of the roltunn .20. In the lower art of the mar-hine is placed the intermediate mold 237 whieh can he. raised or lowered by hand as required. by means of levers 2 29. eontrollinp the bar b0 on Wllltll is fixed the said mold 27.

The operation of the maehine is as follows: The glass is poured into the. measnrin: mold a amt the closure. 10 is then fitted to it: air is then ldown in the diret'tinn of the arrow Ill into the interior of the shaft 1h. h means already known. so as to form the ring and piel're the parison. 'hen the parison is formed. the measuring mold 51 is opened. the said pari on turned with the ring; mold and the shaft; 18 by means of the ll wheel l9 It musing them to make exartl v hall" a revolution. and (supposing the mold .312 open and the hose It turned outside the lmn-hinrl the intermediate mold '37 is raised I means of the lovers .35. l! and iltl. so that it sustains and envelops the parison while the ldowiu is t-untlnnt-d. 'lhe told .27 is then nllowm tn dt-srt-lnl as for as required, h v working h) hand the. lever 28 to a t-onrenienl stop until. in order to girl the art ivhthe preliminary -hnpe in tho said ltltl lltl nmhl. it reaches the exact height that is reqnircd. To this end, the height of the intcrmcdialc mold must be that of the shouldcr of the finished article or condensing tub, and the diameter less than that of the finishcd article. The article in its prelunina form being then suspended at the n the intermediate mold descends to its normal position, the base 24 is bron it back to the axis of the machine as indicated in the drawing, and the finishing mold 22 is closed, after which blowing the article or rondcnsin r tub into the said mold is complcted. he latter is then opened and at the same time the ring mold by means of the pedal 17, the shaft 16 and the uired levers it, 15 shown diagrammatically in the drawing. The weight of the article or condcnsing tub on the base 24, raised by a counterweight 32, causes this base to descend, allowing the ring to be lifted out. The article or condensin' tub is removed after having brought lJtlCi the base '24 outside the machine, and another operation can be then proceeded with. The machine can be mounted on wheels 33.in order to allow of its removal.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:

1. In a machine for making glass articles, a measuring mold in sections, a ring mold below said measuring mold, a finishing mold below the ring mold and formed in a base fitted within the finishing mold, a pivotall mounted arm carrying said base, and an intermediate mold mounted for vertical movement the working positions of the intermediate and finishin molds being in vertical alinemcnt, where by the intermcdiate mold can be moved up to and away from the blank and the finishing mold moved into line with it without changing the position of the blank.

'2. In a machine for making glass articles, a measuring mold in sections. a ring mold below said measnrin mold, a finishing mold below the ring mold and formed in sections, a base fitted within the finishing mold, a pivotally mounted arm carrying said base, and an intermediate mold mounted for vertical movement, the working positions of the intermediate and finishing molds being in vertical alinement, whereby the inter mediate mold can be moved up to and away from the blank and the finishing mold moved into line with it without changing the position of the blank, a bar on which the intermediate mold is carried, and levers connected with said bar for raising said mold to sustain and envelop the arison.

In testimony whereof I a ix my signature.
